commit 129a45f9755a89f573c6a513a6b9e3d234ce89b0 upstream.

gcc 15 complains about an uninitialized variable val that is passed by
reference into fuse_conn_limit_write:

 control.c: In function ‘fuse_conn_congestion_threshold_write’:
 include/asm-generic/rwonce.h:55:37: warning: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    55 |         *(volatile typeof(x) *)&amp;(x) = (val);                            \
       |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~
 include/asm-generic/rwonce.h:61:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘__WRITE_ONCE’
    61 |         __WRITE_ONCE(x, val);                                           \
       |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
 control.c:178:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘WRITE_ONCE’

   166 |         unsigned val;
       |                  ^~~

Unfortunately there's enough macro spew involved in kstrtoul_from_user
that I think gcc gives up on its analysis and sprays the above warning.
AFAICT it's not actually a bug, but we could just zero-initialize the
variable to enable using -Wmaybe-uninitialized to find real problems.

Previously we would use some weird uninitialized_var annotation to quiet
down the warnings, so clearly this code has been like this for quite
some time.

[ Upstream commit c64797809a64c73497082aa05e401a062ec1af34 ]

The commit 15c8e72e88e0 ("fuse: allow skipping control interface and forced
unmount") tries to remove the control interface for virtio-fs since it does
not support aborting requests which are being processed. But it doesn't
work now.

This patch fixes it by skipping creating the control interface if
fuse_conn-&gt;no_control is set.

<title>fuse: split fuse_mount off of fuse_conn</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fcee216beb9c15c3e1466bb76575358415687c55</id>
<content type='text'>
We want to allow submounts for the same fuse_conn, but with different
superblocks so that each of the submounts has its own device ID.  To do
so, we need to split all mount-specific information off of fuse_conn
into a new fuse_mount structure, so that multiple mounts can share a
single fuse_conn.

We need to take care only to perform connection-level actions once (i.e.
when the fuse_conn and thus the first fuse_mount are established, or
when the last fuse_mount and thus the fuse_conn are destroyed).  For
example, fuse_sb_destroy() must invoke fuse_send_destroy() until the
last superblock is released.

To do so, we keep track of which fuse_mount is the root mount and
perform all fuse_conn-level actions only when this fuse_mount is
involved.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Convert the fusectl filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

The only caller that needs fc-&gt;aborted set is fuse_conn_abort_write().
Setting fc-&gt;aborted is now racy (fuse_abort_conn() may already be in
progress or finished) but there's no reason to care.

To reduce contention of fc-&gt;lock, this patch introduces bg_lock for
protection of fields related to background queue. These are:
max_background, congestion_threshold, num_background, active_background,
bg_queue and blocked.

This allows next patch to make async reads not requiring fc-&gt;lock, so async
reads and writes will have better performance executed in parallel.

Functions sequences like request_end()-&gt;flush_bg_queue() require that
max_background and congestion_threshold are constant during their
execution. Otherwise, checks like

	if (fc-&gt;num_background == fc-&gt;max_background)

made in different time may behave not like expected.
